Help combat poisonous pesticides in Maryland

We've made great progress in all these areas! With your help this year we'll be able to continue:

• Educating Maryland legislators and the public on PFAS pesticides to turn off the tap of PFAS contamination of our crops, soil, water, and our bodies from PFAS "forever pesticides".
• Helping protect our honeybees and pollinations with 4 first-in the nation pollinator-protecting state laws!
• Promoting healthy soil practices that sequester carbon and eliminate need for pesticides, see our keynote presentation by world-renowned Dr. Elaine Ingham at our 2023 conference.
• Bringing diverse stakeholders together to collaborate through our Pesticides & the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Project Conference and 3 Working Groups focused on Research, Agriculture, and Healthy Alternatives, continuing 19 years of working collaboration. See our latest reports.
• Advocating for health, safety, and environmental justice for food and farm workers who feed us—we've promoted protection policies for these workers since the pandemic began and continue to do so.
• Advancing our nationally groundbreaking website to identify safer disinfectants, instead of pesticide-registered disinfectants that carry serious health risks for schools, the healthcare industry, and the public.
• Teaching hospitals and schools how to eliminate using toxic pesticides that endanger patients, students, and staff health.
• Driving systemic change and consumer demand away from chemical-intensive products and practices to organic via GoOrganicMd.org website's—helping you to "Vote with your wallet, vote with your fork!"
• Advocating for safe pesticide-free land care for state lands, towns, counties and residential areas, using our model project on the Maryland State House grounds.
